The Western and its numerous subgenres enjoyed popularity prior to the 1980s, but its stock has since fallen, possibly to the point of no return.
Despite the arrival and bulldozing successes of the spaghetti Westerns in the 1960s and 1970s, the wider Western genre thereafter declined and grew less popular in Hollywood. The thematically black-and-white romanticist Western remains the definitive heartbeat of the first few decades of cinema, spearheaded by John Ford and John Wayne as they brought the Old West to the big screen in a blaze of heroism, fundamentalism, and moral clarity.
It’s arguable that some of the greatest films of all time were Westerns, which was in part because so many of the greatest cinematic minds were drawn to the genre. Even today, many established directors try their hand at either revisionist Westerns or neo-Westerns , although their numbers are minimal. Perhaps as time goes on and the legacies of old masterpieces fade, there will be less pressure on filmmakers wanting to try their hands at the genre, and it will become popular again.
The chaos of the Vietnam War especially affected the national sentiment about America’s place in the world, and more broadly the foundations upon which it was founded. Many people felt lied to about how America fitted into the global community, which led to increased skepticism about the veracity of films that focussed on Manifest Destiny – the belief that Americans were destined by God to expand across the North American Continent, and at any cost.
